Alcohol flush reaction - Wikipedia

Alcohol flush reaction is a condition in which a person develops flushes or blotches associated with erythema on the face, neck, shoulders, and in some cases, the entire body after consuming alcoholic beverages. The reaction is the result of an accumulation of acetaldehyde, a metabolic byproduct of the catabolic metabolism of alcohol, and is caused by an aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 deficiency.[4]

“Asian flush” is common in East Asians, with approximately 30 to 50% of Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans showing characteristic physiological responses to drinking alcohol that includes facial flushing, nausea, headaches and a fast heart rate. The condition may be also highly prevalent in some Southeast Asian and Inuit populations.[1][2][3][8]

The most obvious symptom of alcohol flush reaction is flushing on a person’s face and body after drinking alcohol.[4] Other effects include “nausea, headache and general physical discomfort”.[9] People who experience the reaction may be less prone to alcoholism as it tends to discourage them from drinking.

This is what I get to look at out the window. When I moved in that woodchip path was mud, there was a tangled stand of so many trees of heaven their (also tangled) roots put out enough poison to kill grass, both sides of the path (the far side is wildflowers now) AND the ledge within the retaining wall were overrun with dandelions, deadnettle, nettles, other broadleafs, bittercress, seafoam, and crabgrass, a thick tangle of blackberry canes hung off the fence on the other side of the chimney, that bush in the foreground was grown high enough to block the window, and the trees had a ton of thin, twisted, dead, witchy branches at window level and an overgrown carpet canopy up above blocking light and making the whole area look like a cartoon haunted forest.

But that allllll changed cuz of me!

Remember when my parents came and we were scraping the barrel for local destinations so we went to the local air & space museum, and we looked at the outside exhibits and then went into the hangar and it was like oh wow, that’s the actual Spruce Goose, huh?

A Blackbird, too. This is at the airport home to a CIA-linked contractor that’s essentially an intelligence community airbase. And waterpark.

One thing in comparing today to the “days of rage” 60s-70s American unrest is that for people born into the 20th century from WWI through the 1980s, “country experiences violent revolution, changes form of government and power balance within society” was a much more regular background noise of the world, that people could far more intuitively hope to evoke in their own country.

Johnny Mnemonic (1995)

See one upside of the 2010s being such crap is normally if I experienced all this good fortune I’d expect some serious kinda loss to karmically balance it but as is I count it as fair compensation

Alright, it was a month ago when I was about to downshift to 4 scoops/day creatine when I got another echo that sent me back to fully 5 and now here I am waking up and taking a shit before any, which is an energetic sign, so hopefully next month this time I’ll be ready.

I estimate my body keeps a level of about 2 scoops naturally, so I’m doing anaerobic energy (and thus weight loss) at a demand of 7 daily, and this represents an amount equal to the paired segments using 5 and 2 scoops (which is to say the ones taking 3 and just now 0), the one using 6 and 1 (taking 4, and taking 0 after demand has further declined to only some of natural production), and the one using 4 and 3 (taking 2 and 1)

This is to say this and next month together represent fully one fourth of the “final stretch” weight loss; if descending through these phases takes 2 months each it should be complete in around a year.

Of course phases might take longer, and I might see further cases and echoes in that time (probably even less than 1 full scoop worth), which I guess will determine how twinky I come out.

Alright, the lower edge of the stomach, whose becoming -solid- marked the transition from fat side of overweight to core overweight, is now becoming firm. (Think of the bottom of a leather bag vs. like, leather bracers). When that process completes and the whole stomach is all-around blistered out from the torso might mark the transition to average side of overweight

U kno what element it is

(if we’re talking Chinese elements, it’s kinda wood too)

Just now realizing, probably months after the fact, that my ladder has been stolen

Because I was moving it around so much that even going from one yard area it wasn’t to another place it also wasn’t didn’t seem raise any suspicions until I specifically looked for it

“Let’s make a regular weekly thing out of you paying us to show everyone your cat” seems like a wholesome monetization of social media

Went to the mall with my mom, came in through the Macy’s, when it was time to leave we spotted the Macy’s and went to leave, but we couldn’t find the door we entered through. We kept trying to use landmarks we remembered on the way in but none of them were present. I started to think maybe my memory was wrong? But it was so clear. And my mom remembered the same things.

Eventually we had to accept the terrible truth. This mall had two Macy’s. And it did! We found the other Macy’s and our car! But this should be illegal!

Was there any difference, like one had the appliances and linens and one had a makeup counter?

that’s dong and gong. bong means neither of those things

Thinking about how to serve up some musing on Clinton and realizing that like no one under 30 will understand the Bono references.

Honestly I was born a little late for them myself, I didn’t really follow youth music until 1996, I knew he was like, the celebrity lead of a recognizable band, but it seemed fundamentally as arbitrary as if it had been Michael Stipe riding on Clinton’s jet and blurbing neoliberalism in Newsweek.
